Homestead Village

We toured Homestead Village and are actually about to move our loved one in here. We really like the facility and the concept and layout is cool. What stood out to us was the common atrium area as well as a craft room that is open 24/7 where they also serve coffee and tea. For residents who have dogs, they also have a dog washing station. It is a newer facility, only about a year old and the units do seem to be a little smaller square footage.

The facility itself is well-maintained. I have some concern over the fact that there is only one elevator for the entire building. Should there be a problem with one and there has been those on the upper floors are essentially trapped if they cannot go up and downstairs. I realize this is a rental situation rather than a purchase however, the appliances provided are the absolute cheapest that are available and I believe for the prices that are charged they could be a better quality. The managers of the facility have always been cooperative. They are doing the best they can given the hand that they have been dealt so I have no complaints about them.

I would recommend this place. I was attracted to this community because it was close to a daughter.

There are a lot of wonderful things about Homestead Village Miamisburg - all expenses included including tv & wifi, pets allowed, amenities of free fancy coffee machine & pet washing station & dog park & craft room & pool & dart room in the bar & workout room, inexpensive laundry machines, secure package room, etc. Your neighbors really do become friends & we look out for each other. There are some people here who should be in assisted living or memory units & staff do not do much about them. You are given the impression that the activities are put on by the staff but that is not true. Residents have to decide, organize & work all the activities. We have euchre groups, mahjong, rummikub, left/right/center, beach all volleyball, bingo, poetry club, pool, movie nights in the living room, religious groups, potlucks, holiday parties, thirsty Thursdays and informational presentations and more. I have lived here for a little over a year (with an 18 month lease) and will renew.

My sons chose this facility for me because they knew I would love the security door features, it keeps me safe. I would tell others looking to make sure you tour an apartment on each floor. They show the first floor apartments only. Make sure you can look at 2nd and 3rd floor also. They are smaller.

The cost is reasonable, and we don't have a dining room, instead we have our own kitchens in each unit therefore one is reasonable for their own meals. I would give families a heads up to make them aware of the dogs and cats here in case they have allergies. They are letting in big dogs for emotional support animals which is how they are getting around the size and breeds.

There really hasn't been any care at the apartments. I do know mom's neighbor fell out of his wheelchair and the people in the office said they couldn't help. So my mom and another man helped him. Mom has enjoyed the activities she has been involved in. The common area bathrooms need to be better attended and this winter at the back door the ice was never removed or salted. It was dangerous picking my mother up.

Its a great independent living facility, that offers all in one with some simple resources in the lobby (doctor, salon, community room, church, dog park)I picked it as it was much cheaper and we could get things like PT, OT, nurse potentially covered through medicaid or government programs.

I've had a good experience at Homestead Village of Blacklick. It's a clean and active community. And the apartment size is adequate for my needs.

My loved one is getting used to it. It's nice but very small. She is happy overall. She loves the community and the management, as well as the neighbors and activities.

I would tell others looking into Homestead Village Beavercreek that the water is very hard - make sure that you bring a Brita filter. It is in a very nice location though and my apartment is nice, but some others say the other normal ones are on the smaller side. They are all the same layout and pretty cookie cutter. I would recommend as long as it fits what you want.

It's convenient and adequate for my purposes, which is basically a place to cook and sleep. There is no food or housekeeping included. They staff have been quite responsive to concerns. I've had two maintenance issues, and both were taken care of immediately. I've had no issues with administration or billing. They're at least trying with the activities, but the current residents aren't participating much. It's a relatively new facility and not fully populated yet.

They have walk in showers available. All utilities except for water and eclectic are paid. There are somethings that could be improved on; however, their hands are tied locally due to corporate. The automatic door opener is too far from the door. The residents are great to converse with. They allow pets. They have a game room, beauty shop, health and wellness center, post office, tv room, doggie spa, small party rental room, coffee bar, and more for the residents to take advantage of.

Love my apartment. However, a few different floor plans are available but was not explained. Also additional charges for view 1st. 2nd or third floor charges and apt on corner of building not fully explained until you picked apt. Only utility you pay is electric, everything else is in rent. Building is not very secure. No mgr on site and sometimes door are not secure. Fire alarms go off in the middle of night for no reason and last a few minutes to a few hours. Not what I would consider active 55 and over. Aides, therapists and caregivers in out out all day. Very few residents participate in any activities.

Lots of drama between residents, services promised were not offered, residents ran the activities so cliques were formed.

Homestead Village of Blacklick is a very nice community but a lot of hyped notifications that is not there. Based on the experience we have had so far, we are not sure if we would recommend them. Everyone is different and it depends on what you are looking for

We thought it might be better than an apartment complex. It reminds me of a college dorm for 55+...cliques, gossip etc.

To Whom it may Concern, we really enjoyed out stay at Homestead Villiage, but getting our X,XXX [amount removed] security deposit back, has been a real challenge. It is now over 30 days and we have not received a status on our deposit. We are senior citizens and live on a fixed income, this is ridiculous.

I moved into this place on [date removed] and it has been a nightmare ever since. DO NOT MOVE YOUR LOVED ONES IN HERE!!! Let's start with an uncaring manager and regional manager who thinks that people with health problems, in wheelchairs, walkers in their 70's, 80's, and 90's should take their boxes from move-in all the way out to a dumpster instead of putting them in the garbage rooms in the building. Would you want your loved one to be made to do that? She doesn't care, doesn't answer phone calls, and when you speak up about it she will cry and say she can't take it and hang up the phone on you. It's all about your money and getting you in here and then you are treated like crap. Actually, show your loved ones you care by not putting them in this awful place. The new manager is rude, and tries to bully tenants but when she gets called out for her BS then she cries and says she can't take it anymore. It may have been great when [name removed] was here I wasn't here then, but with [name removed] its awful
